What is Somatic Yoga?

Somatic Yoga is a slow, mindful practice that blends yoga, Feldenkrais, somatics, and embodiment techniques to create a deeply therapeutic experience. Rather than focusing on how much you move, Somatic Yoga encourages you to tune into how you move—emphasising sensation, ease, and self-awareness. Through gentle, repetitive movements, you’ll release long-held tension, rewire unhelpful movement patterns, and cultivate a profound sense of relaxation. This practice is about moving with intention, recalibrating your nervous system, and finding freedom in your body—on and off the mat.

Benefits of Somatic Yoga Classes

Release Deeply Held Tension

Somatic Yoga helps unravel layers of tension stored in the body by focusing on gentle, mindful movement. Rather than forcing deep stretches, this practice guides your body to release naturally, helping to reduce aches, pains, and physical discomfort. Over time, you’ll create new, healthier movement patterns that promote long-term ease and comfort.

Nervous System Regulation

By moving slowly and intentionally, Somatic Yoga calms the nervous system, guiding you out of fight-or-flight mode and into deep relaxation. This practice supports emotional balance, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being, making it especially beneficial for those experiencing anxiety, burnout, or trauma-related tension.

Improve Body Awareness & Mobility

This class isn’t about pushing your limits—it’s about exploring what your body is truly capable of when given the space to move without strain. Through mindful repetition, you’ll increase mobility, develop subtle strength, and cultivate balance, making everyday movement feel easier and more natural.
